Traditional air conditioner and heat pump comparison from two aspects:
1. Work environment
The air source heat pump can operate under low temperature conditions. The one who has used Traditional air conditioner, will know that cooling is good in summer, but when heating in winter, troubles often appear, especially in winter when the temperature is low. The main reason for this is that the ordinary compressor used in the Traditional air conditioner has a low compression ratio. When the temperature drops to a certain level, the compressor cannot work and the heating cannot be stabilized, so generally it can only work be above -5°C working conditions.
The air-source heat pumps use special compressor which is only for heat pump, the cost much higher than Traditional air conditioner, and the operating pressure is higher, so it can be suitable for lower ambient temperatures. In addition, there are some differences between the evaporator and other parts of the Traditional air conditioner, the purpose of which is to better operate stably in harsh environments.
At present, the air source heat pump can operate in a low-temperature environment, and has a good energy efficiency value, which can meet the heating demand of more than 90% of our country.
2. Working methods
The principle of air-source heat pump and Traditional air conditioner is basically the same, both of which convert low-grade cold/heat sources into high-grade cold/heat sources. It’s just that one uses fluorine as the hot and cold medium, and the other uses water as the hot and cold medium, but they are through different indoor terminals.
In terms of cooling, both can use indoor terminal as fan coil, and the effect is not much different. However, in terms of heating, the traditional air conditioner transfers heat through the fan, and blows out the hot air by the motor working, while air source heat pump can not only work with fan coil, but also can connect with underfloor heating and radiators.
For home comfortable, the floor heating is more better and energy-saving, because floor heating requires the lowest water temperature and requires the least amount of heat to achieve the same effect.
It can be seen that, compared with the traditional heating and cooling air conditioning, the dual air source heat pump has more advantages in terms of use effect and comfort, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Wide range of applications: Air source heat pump products have a wider temperature range and can be used all year round. They are not easily affected by bad weather such as rain and snow and low temperature at night in winter, and can be used normally.
Sustainable heating: The heat pump can continuously heat and continuously supply hot water to meet the needs of users.
Low operating cost: When the sun is good in spring, summer and autumn, the operating cost is slightly higher than that of solar energy, but in rainy days and nights, the thermal efficiency is much higher than that of solar-assisted electric heating.
Easy to install: The air source heat pump occupies a small space, and its appearance is similar to that of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner. It can be directly connected to a heat preservation water tank or connected to a heating pipe network, and has a wide range of applications.
Higher comfort: The air source heat pump is water circulation system. The floor heating pipe is hot water, and then the heat is radiated through the ground. There is no sense of wind, and it will not take away the moisture in the room and the human body. The heating method is from the bottom to the bottom. On the top, the heat is evenly distributed, and the room is warm and cool at the top, which is suitable for the physiological characteristics of the human body, so you will feel the temperature is very comfortable.
